Gibsons Civilization Board Game

Designed by legendary games inventor Francis Tresham, Civilization is a game of skill and strategy for 2-7 players. In the ancient world of the eastern Mediterranean and the near East, each player controls a different nation as they seek to become the most powerful and advanced civilisation. Although battles and territorial strategy are important, this is not a War game. The object of the game is to gain a level of overall advancement involving cultural, economic and political factors so that conflicts arise due to rivalry and land shortage, rather than a desire to eliminate other players. As your people grow and migrate, they will build cities, collect commodities such as papyrus, salt and bronze, and look to trade these Resources with other nations in order to advance. Successful leaders will use their raw materials to acquire aspects of civilisation such as astronomy, engineering and literacy on their path to emerging victorious as a civilised nation. From the Dawn of history to 250BC, will you lead your people successfully?
